Bunions are bony bumps that develop at the base of the big toe joint, often caused by genetics, poor footwear choices, or abnormal gait mechanics. Over time, bunions can worsen, leading to pain, reduced mobility, and difficulty wearing shoes comfortably.
Common Symptoms include:
-
Pain or discomfort around the big toe joint
-
A visible bump on the inside of the foot
-
Swelling, redness, or irritation around the joint
-
Difficulty fitting into shoes or walking without discomfort
Treatments We Provide:
-
Custom orthotics – to correct foot mechanics and reduce pressure on the bunion.
-
Footwear modifications – advice and adjustments for shoes that reduce pain and improve comfort.
-
Padding and taping – to offload pressure and protect the joint.
-
Exercise therapy – strengthening and stretching exercises to improve joint function and slow progression.
-
Referral to orthopaedic specialists – for surgical assessment in severe or persistent cases.
At Perfect Motion Podiatry, we focus on relieving pain, slowing progression, and helping you maintain mobility. Our goal is to provide practical, non-invasive solutions whenever possible, while ensuring timely referral if surgery becomes the best option.
